SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA AD 20210078, dated March 17, 2021 EASA AD 2021
0078 to correct an unsafe condition for certain Leonardo S.p.A. formerly Finmeccanica S.p.A, AgustaWestland S.p.A., Agusta S.p.A.; and AgustaWestland Philadelphia Corporation, formerly Agusta Aerospace Corporation Model AW189 helicopters.
EASA AD 20210078 was prompted by a design review which identified that fairing part number P/N
8G3340A12532 left-hand LH and P/N
8G3340A12632 right-hand RH used during icing trials activity conducted for the certification of Full Ice Protection System and Limited Ice Protection System kits had never been introduced in the MR tip light kit P/N
8G3340F00411 design definition. The MR tip light kit P/N 8G3340F00411 is currently composed of two other fairing part numbers, P/N 8G3340A12531 LH
and P/N 8G3340A12631 RH installed in the vicinity of each engine air intake.
EASA AD 20210078 advises the fairing part numbers that are currently installed could cause significant ice accretion during operations in icing conditions.
The FAA is issuing this AD to address ice shedding ingestion by the engines,
